Anotations

Scope note:

Perforated metal conical strainer used to remove seeds and other coarse matter from soft foods. The china cap is similar to the chinois, but has much larger holes, and creates a coarser-textured product. Both the chinois and the china cap often are used with a cone-shaped pestle.
